                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR
 
    CHAPTER II--BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 3100_OIL AND GAS LEASING--Table of Contents
 
                     Subpart 3101_Issuance of Leases
 
Sec. 3101.1-4  Modification or waiver of lease terms and stipulations.

    A stipulation included in an oil and gas lease shall be subject to 
modification or waiver only if the authorized officer determines that 
the factors leading to its inclusion in the lease have changed 
sufficiently to make the protection provided by the stipulation no 
longer justified or if proposed operations would not cause unacceptable 
impacts. If the authorized officer has determined, prior to lease 
issuance, that a stipulation involves an issue of major concern to the 
public, modification or waiver of the stipulation shall be subject to 
public review for at least a 30-day period. In such cases, the 
stipulation shall indicate that public review is required before 
modification or waiver. If subsequent to lease issuance the authorized 
officer determines that a modification or waiver of a lease term or 
stipulation is substantial, the modification or waiver shall be subject 
to public review for at least a 30-day period.
